What brand of car do you drive?

**BunsenH** · 08-19-2002, 03:48 PM

WOW!

I don't customize like in my youth. Don't even change my own oil!

My Miata is black with black roof and interior. A few subtle Batman insignias, and I have my Batmobile.

Porsche 968s have V8s. They were front engine, rear wheel drive cars made in the 80s. Porsche is thinking about putting the V8 from their new SUV in the 911, but keeping the boxer six as an option. (Car and Driver)

I've always wondered why people like Porche so much?

what's so special about it?

to me it's just an oversized and expensive car.

if i go for expensive car, i'll either get a Ferrari or a Lamborgini

I like Porsche so much because:

I am more likely able to afford a Porsche Turbo than either a Lamborghini or Ferrari.

Porsche are known throughout the world of being ONE of the best handling cars.

Despite what you think of as a high price, Porsche's cars are somewhat cheaper than either Lambo or Ferrari and perform just as well if not better.

And they look **** nice...

I don't like prosche that much. I would rather have a 2003 Corvette Z06 as it is much faster and cheaper

Nobody has mentioned a Viper, Lotus, Bently, Jaguar. What nobody likes those cars?

or are they too expensive?

I love Porsche they make some killer cars!

i drive a 1975 corvette stingray

metallic/mirror t-tops

painted several times.. finally i stopped it at red

i originally took out the bucket seats and put in red leather seats then went back to the nucket seats because i hate the feel of leather in the summer

history:

my uncle bought this car at a police auction in 1984 for only $400 then sold it to me for $500 in 1996

the car's interior was in decent condition, the doors were messed up, the car needed a paint job.. it was black w/ white spots all over it

the original engine we were unsure whether it was 61k miles or 161k miles

late 1996, i slowly started putting my money into the car, i replaced original bucket seats which were a bit uncomfortable for red leather seats about $800 total

early 97, i worked on the whole interior and replaced all the doors with new doors costed me about $550, replaced the tires and rims with racing tires, had to car painted to look like a pace car black/gray and changed the tail of the car costed $2000 total, then i changed it again to all black.. they gave me a deal and charged me only $1500

late 97, we replaced the engine even though it seemed to work fine.. it began to over heat very quickly every time we drove more than 50 miles.. we switched over to an almost new daytona engine which only had 600 miles on it.. $4000

mid 99, bought nitrous boosters online for $1050 and my friend who is also a mechanic installed them for me for only $200.. other boosters wanted at least $400 then i changed my car seats back to the original bucket seats because i was getting pissed off at the feeling of leather in summer

late 99, i had my car stripped and repainted cherry red for $1700 and bought metallic/mirror t-tops for $50 online

conclusion: i have the hottest ride around here in my opinion :P

when i first started driving my car.. about the same time everyone else started buying/leasing cars... i saw all these people around my friends new car so i made fun of my friend's car.. he had a 2000 yellow mustang.. he asked.. what do you drive?

i just said an old car and walked away with him laughing at me

sucked for him when i pulled up from around the block in my vette

**Bizkitkid2001** · 08-21-2002, 07:48 PM

I love the old stingrays!! I have a model of a 63 stingray in ment condition and never been removed from the box. It is worth about $50 nows, and when I paid for it about 6 years ago I only paid $10 it

**AllGamer** · 08-21-2002, 08:02 PM

yeah i always considered the Old Vette Stingrays to be Sexier looking than the newer models, yet packing a lot more power.

**Shinta** · 08-21-2002, 08:12 PM

of course.. the oldies are the best

ehh 63?

i forgot which one is the rare one 62 or 63

**Bizkitkid2001** · 08-21-2002, 08:29 PM

63s are the rarest vettes

**Shinta** · 08-21-2002, 08:48 PM

**Bizkitkid2001** · 08-21-2002, 08:51 PM
